Peter Rabbit Cocktail Recipe #BloggersGo

Recently, I went on a #BloggersGo trip with my best gal pals. One of the restaurants we dined at was Searsuckers (review post upcoming). Now at Searsuckers, I had the best cocktail I have ever had the pleasure of sipping on. It was perfect, refreshing, and oh so hard to duplicate; but after a search on the internet I finally managed it. Now, the main purpose of this post is to highlight my favorite Touch products by Good Cook. I figured since I used three different ones in just making this tasty beverage, this would be the perfect avenue to do so. Since the recipe I used called for lemon zest, I used the Citrus Zester to make my job easier.

I also needed to wash the fresh basil since I picked it right off the plant. Pretty fresh, but that means pretty dirty. What an easy job when I used the 6″ Strainer to clean the leaves in the running water.

I also had to squeeze fresh lemons to make the basil lemonade, but how would I know when I reached 1 cup? Yup! You got it! Good Cook has the “Measure From Above” Cup Measuring Cup which makes measuring liquids a breeze! No more bending down eyeing whether or not you have made the mark.

Are you ready for the recipe? You bet you are…now this will take some patience, but I promise you…The Peter Rabbit Cocktail recipe is totally worth it! Now the recipe below calls for Pimms #1 which my local grocer or liquor store doesn’t carry. I am pleased to present how to make Pimms #1 at home: How to make Pimms #1

Now go and find your favorite Good Cook Touch tool.

Combine all ingredients in a Boston shaker, shake, and strain into a rocks glass filled with ice. Spear a pickled globe carrot and lay across lip of glass. Take a large basil leaf and place it flat in the palm of one hand, clap the other hand over leaf to release oils and aroma. Fold leaf in half and slide down inside of glass so it’s just peaking one third of the way out.

I had the point counter ready to get the points from entering the Good Cooks Treasure Hunt but it was already over. Please deduct the points I got from that, as I didn’t do what was necessary to get them. Sorry about that.

I used to have an old dial face scale that was my grandmother’s. While cleaning the kitchen one
cold winters day, I knocked it off my prep table and broke the weighing pan. I’ve been meaning to replace it–but it just has not been in budget. I would truly appreciate the 11lb Digital Food Scale. I use a scale at work and it makes baking so much easier.
